I think the shyness stems from the fact that a greater piece of the “real me” is now on offer to the “world”. My British accent aside, which some North Americans seem to like, i don't have much confidence in my talents as an interviewer! So I will try to brush up my skills for future podcasts, inshā’Allāh.

Less stuttering, less giggling, and more, erm… being normal? Not sure i can promise that though, as it may involve prescription medication…
